A solar-equipment manufacturer from Ohio, Willard & Kelsey Solar Group, signed a preliminary deal with a local development company Tuesday to build a plant and headquarters just outside Orlando, a project that could create up to 3,600 high-paying jobs by the time it’s done in roughly six years, an executive with the firm said.
Orange County likely has beaten out — for now, if not completely — a number of competing bids from Florida and elsewhere to land the project.
